Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1978, making it 46 years old. While the unit appears well-maintained with newer-looking laminate flooring in the living/dining area and clean carpets in the bedroom, the kitchen is significantly dated. It features original or very old wood cabinetry, tiled countertops, and older white appliances, along with dated fluorescent lighting. Popcorn ceilings are visible throughout. These elements indicate that the kitchen and likely the bathrooms (though not explicitly shown) would require substantial updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards. The property is functional but shows clear signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location: Prime Menlo Park address offering immediate proximity to Stanford University, Stanford Hospital, Stanford Mall, Sharon Heights Shopping Center, and easy access to I-280, enhancing convenience and desirability.
Desirable Unit Features & Views: A sought-after 2-bedroom, 2-bath 'stretch' unit featuring views from every room and includes a washer/dryer, adding to its appeal and functionality.
Robust Community Amenities: Residents benefit from an active lifestyle with access to a clubhouse, a year-round heated pool, and an exercise gym, providing excellent recreational options.
Significant Price Reduction: The property has undergone a substantial price reduction from its original list price, presenting a potentially 'great value' opportunity for prospective buyers.
Quiet Living Environment: Located in a quiet building within Menlo Commons, ensuring a peaceful and serene residential experience.
Cons
Age Restriction: The community imposes an age restriction (one resident must be 55+), which significantly narrows the potential buyer pool.
High Monthly Association Fee: A substantial monthly association fee of $927.0 adds a considerable ongoing cost to homeownership, impacting affordability.
Building Age: Built in 1978, the building is over 45 years old, which may imply potential for future maintenance assessments or a need for interior updates not explicitly detailed.
